Pet care experience
We have Charlie, one of the most trained dog in the neighborhood and willing to help anyone at anytime. We've taken care of small dogs like a Chihuahua to an 85lbs dog. High energy dogs are welcome as we setup play time with other dogs, play fetch and walks when ever needed. We are also used to handling puppies and their lovely behaviours.
Reviews
Our dog Chuchi has a great time with Alex & Kate. Their dog Charlie is such a great host. Alex &Kate take great care of our standard Poodle and are very organized. They are very attentive and caring.
Chico had an excellent time with Alex and Kate! They were super attentive and knowledgable. We loved that they sent us lots of photos from the day of him playing with their dog Charlie, going on walks, and cuddling. We already have our next booking in the calendar and Chico can’t wait to come back to his second mommy Kate. We would highly recommend Alex and Kate to any dog parents out there!
Initially Alex and Kate welcomed Chico and I into their home for our meet and greet. Chico took to both Alex and Kate faster than expected. I felt extremely comfortable that I could trust Chico’s care in their very capable hands. Thank you for taking such great care of Chico. So many photos and videos of him playing, making new friends and even skating. He also came home with a new skill “wait” after his overnight stay.
This was a really great experience for our dog Joni and for us! We got lots of photos and updates while we were gone on a ski weekend. Not only was Joni well taken care of but she also developed a nice bond with Alex and Kate and their dog. Highly recommended!

Safety, trust & environment
We live in a semi-detached home with a fully fenced back and side yard big enough for our furry friends to play. And we have a very adaptable American Eskimo that can accompany your dog or give them space when needed, we have plenty of space in the main floor or the basement to play. But in down time, they all prefer the bay window where they can watch the entire street. We only accept 2 pets at a time on most occasion, this way they can get our full attention, we are both working from home so your love one will always be supervised. A meet and greet is required before prior to a boarding or daycare session, this way our Charlie can meet your pet and you will also have the chance to take a look at the place where your love one will be staying. So when requesting to book your first session, please include your earliest most convenient day and time for the meet and greet as our schedule are very flexible.

Information Alex & Kate L. would like to know about your pet
We respect boundaries and limitations, if you trained your dog in a certain way, let us know so we can keep it consistent. Such as no sitting on furniture, off limits to certain spaces, such as the kitchen and more. This way we don't undo your hard work and confuses the dog. We are experienced with many kind of behaviors in dogs, just let us know in advance, so we know what to expect. And if there's any you would like assistance on, we'll do our best. Waiting in the entry area for our command to continue including waiting for their turn in feeding time, finishing their portion of food in one sitting, desensitizing from touching their paws (helpful for trimming and putting on winter boots)
A typical day
We love walking with our dogs around the neighborhood, there are always other dogs and kids around to play with, but we have different route when avoidance is needed. We like to play in the back and side yard, it's big enough to run around and play fetch. And in the summer, we have a kiddy pool to cool off. When that's not enough, we go to the basement for more playtime, but most of the time, it became nappy time.

Availability
My wife and I are always at home, day and night, well except when we're out for walks. At least once in the morning and another in the evening. So we are available for boarding any time, weekend and weekdays. We let them out in the backyard in the the morning before we get ready for the morning walks. Feeding time is always after the walk then a little break/play indoor before letting them out in the yard again for another play time. Nappy time is almost guaranteed after, some prefer the cooler basement but most wants to be in the bay window where they can watch the neighborhood. But they all just naps there. Late afternoon they get to play outside again before we prep them for another walk then feeding time. They get to play a bit after on the main floor before heading down to the basement where the good dogs (all of them) get a little treat. One last time outside before we head to sleep, either they are more comfortable in their own kennel or joins us in the bedroom, but not on the bed.
